Even if you were expecting something different, this still comes as a surprise. With Let’s Start Here, Lil Yachty, a rapper too easily lumped into the SoundCloud mumble rap crowd, ventures into psychedelic and synthetic pop. His cleverly autotuned voice is the only thing that reminds us it really is him. This fifth album is divisive—so much the better. By drawing upon the likes of Tame Impala, Pink Floyd, Tyler, The Creator and Frank Ocean, Lil Yachty seeks to establish himself as a recognised and recognisable artist. He relies on a team of producers, including Justin Raisen (Billie Eilish, Angel Olsen), Sad Pony (Nicki Minaj, Kelela), and Patrick Wimberly, one-half of the pop duo Chairlift.
Lil Yachty frequently and skilfully pushes the boundaries of rap, not by simply stretching its limits, but by taking an altogether new direction and constantly positioning himself against them, anchoring himself in a completely distinct aesthetic. There’s no doubt that he’s mixing his favourite genres together here, but Let's Start Here is a new artistic path. Perhaps it’s nothing more than a fleeting digression, but it still features some fascinating tracks, such as the convoluted ‘REACH THE SUNSHINE.’ and the loosely rhythmic ‘paint THE sky’. Lil Yachty successfully achieves his goals with this album. He makes himself stand out and encourages people to consider his musical talents in a way that’s relevant, all whilst expressing a visceral need to explore musical realms other than those that the public would like to impose on him. © Brice Miclet/Qobuz
